Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The Angel of Death used to come to people and they would see him. In the same way, he came to Musa (peace be upon him), but Musa struck him and gouged out his eye. The angel returned to Allah Almighty and said: O my Lord! Your servant Musa has gouged out my eye (by slapping me). If You had not honored him, I would have dealt harshly with him. Allah Almighty said: Go back to My servant and tell him to place his hand on the back of an ox; for every hair that comes under his hand, he will live for that many years. When Musa (peace be upon him) heard this from the angel, he asked: What will happen after that? The reply was: Then death will come to you. He said: Then let it be now. Then the angel made him smell something, and his soul was taken. Yunus, the narrator, said: Thus Allah Almighty restored the angel’s eye, and after that, the angel began to come to people in a concealed manner.

(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The Angel of Death was sent to Musa, peace be upon him. When he came to him, Musa struck him and gouged out his eye. So he returned to his Lord and said: You have sent me to a servant who does not want to die. Allah Almighty restored the angel’s eye and said to him: Return to him and say that he should place his hand on the back of an ox; for every hair that comes under his hand, he will be granted a year of life. Musa, peace be upon him, said: O my Lord! Then what will happen? He said: Then death will come. He said: Then let it be now. Then he asked Allah Almighty to bring him close to the holy land at a distance of a stone’s throw. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: If I were there, I would show you his grave by the side of the road beneath the red sand hill.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The night I was taken on the Night Journey, I passed by Musa (peace be upon him) and I saw him standing and performing prayer in his grave. In one narration, this additional statement is mentioned: This grave was near a red mound.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The sun was not stopped for any human being except for Yusha bin Nun, peace be upon him; this was during the days when he was heading towards Bayt al-Maqdis.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, the sun was never stopped for any human being except for Yusha bin Nun. This was during the days when he was heading towards Bayt al-Maqdis. In another narration, it is mentioned: One of the Prophets from among the Prophets waged jihad. He said to his people: No man should come with me who has become the owner of a woman's private part (i.e., he has married) and wishes to consummate the marriage but has not yet done so. Nor should the man (join my army) who has started building a house but has not yet put a roof on it, and nor should the man who has bought goats or such pregnant animals whose offspring he is waiting for, he too should not come with us. (After making this announcement) he set out for the battle. When they reached near a village, the time for Asr prayer had come or was near. (And in another narration, it is mentioned that the confrontation with the enemy happened before sunset). At that time, that Prophet said to the sun: You are commanded (by Allah) and I am also commanded (by Him). O Allah! Hold back this sun for me for a little while. So it was held back. (They remained engaged in jihad until Allah granted victory and abundant spoils of war were obtained.) The people of that army collected the spoils of war (according to the law of that time), a fire came to consume it, but it refused to do so. Their principle was that when they obtained spoils of war, Allah would send a fire that would consume it. That Prophet (explaining the reason for the fire not consuming it) said: Someone among you has committed treachery, therefore, one man from each tribe should pledge allegiance to me. They pledged allegiance. During the pledge, one man's hand stuck to his hand. At that time, he said: There is treachery among you. Now every man from your tribe will pledge allegiance to me (so that the culprit can be identified). They began pledging allegiance, and eventually, the hands of two or three men stuck. The Prophet said: There is treachery among you, you have committed treachery. They said: Yes, we have committed treachery with a golden idol shaped like a cow's face. Then they brought the thing shaped like a cow's face and placed it among the spoils of war on the ground. Then the fire turned towards it and consumed the spoils of war. For no one before us (the Ummah of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) were the spoils of war made lawful. The reason for this is that when Allah saw that we were weak and helpless, He made the spoils of war lawful for us. And in another narration, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said at that time: Allah, out of mercy for us and due to our weakness, has granted us permission to consume the spoils of war.

Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Children of Israel were told: Enter the door in a state of prostration and say "Hittah" with your tongues; We will forgive your sins. But they changed this command and entered dragging their buttocks on the ground and saying with their tongues "Habbatun fi Sha'rah" (a grain in a stalk of wheat).

(Second chain) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The Children of Israel were told to enter the door in a state of prostration, but they entered dragging themselves on their buttocks, and they were commanded to say "Hittah" (forgiveness), but they altered this command and said: "Hintah fi sha'rah" (wheat in a stalk).

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The reason for the naming of Khidr is that when he would sit on barren land where there was no greenery, it would become lush and start to move. The narrator says: By "farwah" is meant white grass and similar things. Abdullah, the narrator, said: I think that Abdur Razzaq has given this explanation.

(Second chain) Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The reason for Khidr's name is that when he would sit on barren land where there was no greenery, it would become green beneath him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin ‘Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We used to say that on the day of Badr, the number of the noble Companions was the same as the companions of Talut on the day of Jalut, that is, three hundred and fourteen or fifteen individuals, who crossed the river with Talut, and only the believers crossed the river.
